Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Many that are not familiar with the popular "Dia de Muertos" tradition believe that it is a day to honor and worship death and evil. In reality it is a beautiful tradition in which loved ones are remembered and loved. It is said that those that have passed away visit us on this special day. The living, place their loved ones favorite, foods and snacks on the "ofrenda" with pictures of those that have departed.
It is a night full of love and happy memories, honoring the life of those that have passed away while remembering the happy memories and talking about their life.
This is a tradition that people form Mexico and many Latin American countries celebrate.
Our school has enrolled many immigrants in the past year. Newcomers to the USA, have a difficult adjusting to their new world. By celebrating their cultures and traditions, we are honoring them and allowing them to slowly adjust to their new country.
The background and signs will be displayed in the classroom and hallway. I am also asking for candles, figurines, and marigold flowers, the traditional flower of this day. I would also like frames to add the pictures of my students' loved ones who have passed. All of these items will be used for our "ofrenda" and help my immigrant students feel accepted and honored. My other students will learn all about this tradition, thereby teaching cultural diversity at the same time.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
